Background
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport is the government agency responsible for road transport administration and driver licensing in Cambodia. An inter-ministerial meeting on 27 May 2026 was chaired by MPWT Deputy Secretary of State Nim Sotha to discuss the digital driving license format and the DG Super App.
The meeting included senior officers from MPWT’s General Directorate of Land Transport and the General Department of Technology and Public Relations, representatives of the Government Digital Committee at the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and delegates from the National Police under the Ministry of Interior. The agenda focused on the technical format of a digital driving license and the potential integration of license functions into the DG Super App.
Scope of Application
Discussions targeted the regulatory and administrative domain of driver licensing under MPWT’s mandate, and the technical interfaces between licensing authorities and national digital systems. The scope therefore covers licence issuance processes, digital credential format, and inter-agency data coordination where those functions intersect.
Key Provisions or Decisions
Participants discussed two primary items: the design and format of a digital driving license, and the integration of driving-license functionality with the Government’s DG Super App. Attending units identified their institutional roles in any further technical or regulatory work, including land-transport administration, technology implementation, and law-enforcement coordination.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Further development of a digital driving license format will involve specification of technical standards, data-sharing arrangements among agencies, and updates to administrative licensing procedures. Companies offering transport services, digital identity solutions, or public-sector IT integration should monitor MPWT and MPTC announcements for formal technical requirements and procurement opportunities.
